Built, configured and deployed a private #nostr #relay today. Spent most of the time configuring and testing while moving from #Apache2 to #Nginx. But all seems to be working.. better than before.
This #event will be archived in a database that I control and distributed through a series of unassociated relayes that are not governed by corporate algorithms.
#grownostr
Way to go smitty! Huge accomplishment and congratulations 🎉🎊🍾
Good to have own nostr relay (I also have a free one). Nginx much better, but if you want faster, change the ssl/tls from rsa to ecc. See the difference 😎
And welcome! 🤙
Thanks for the tip. I will dig into this a little and see if I can convert from RSA to the ecliptic curve cryptography.
Not so difficult, if you use let's encrypt
Run certbot with force renew and ecdsa parameter. I don't know the exact syntax
Thank you for tip. It was relatively straight forward and simple once I found the guide based on your lead. I managed to clean some things up in the process.
Something like this .. you may need to specify the curve depending on your version of certbot -->
certbot renew --dry-run --key-type ecdsa --cert-name example.com --force-renewal
Here's the reference to help anyone else taking the same path -->
